The Trump administration has released a proposal to cut about a quarter of NASA’s 2026 budget, slashing both International Space Station crew sizes and the amount of research done there. At the same time, it sets up new funding that would likely benefit Elon Musk’s SpaceX by prioritizing human missions to Mars, and refocuses on “beating China back to the Moon.”

The suggested cuts are part of President Trump’s budget proposal for next year. It would slash $508 million from the ISS, cutting its crew size and focusing its “reduced research capacity … on efforts critical to the Moon and Mars exploration programs.” It also cuts $2.265 billion from space science missions, and includes terminating things like the Mars Sample Return missi

THE PURPOSE OF THIS POST

I'm not joking. There are others that have been on the Huntsville anti-grav trail for some time and I think it's fascinating that Ross Coulthart spoke on anti-gravity research in the 1950s at the recent SCU in Huntsville. The anti-grav entanglement in this topic is so incredible. The implication of it's potential existence since the 1950s, and the recent interesting cases of the [anti-grav researchers who passed recently](https:

Durabit: Incentivizing Torrent Seeding With Bitcoin

A recent anonymous proposal specifies a system using timelocked Bitcoin transactions and chaumian ecash mints to create an economic incentive for BitTorrent users to seed files.

"If Bitcoin is the money for sending money around when people don’t you doing so, BitTorrent is the mechanism for moving data around when they don’t want you to. It’s always had a big problem though, one I’m sure anyone who has ever used it is quite familiar with. The seeding problem."

VNDB now has a DRM field

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/432866

This feature proposal from the VNDB beta has made it into the live site! We can now start tagging VNs known to have DRM:

Alrighty, still not really polished or finished yet, but it doesn't look like the main data model or guidelines will change much so I've pushed it live now.

If you want to filter for DRM-free visual novel releases, you can do that now.

I consider this mission accomplished. \o/

The wording "Digital Restrictions Management" was almost snuck into the guidelines proposal, and unfortunately I can't claim to have had anything to do with that :)

The official guidelines are available here. Interestingly, the final wording is:

Some releases have DRM (Digital Rights Management or, more accurately, Restrictions Management)

On Fandoms and Discussions

Ff.net have forums and communities where fans can discuss fandoms, their favorite authors and other works. With AO3, I’m not so sure if those communities exist.

So if enough people will want it here, a dedicated thread might be put up for it. What do you think?
